Activation of the Ga(I) cation for bond activation: from oxidative additions into C−Cl and H−P bonds to reversible insertion into P4

Abstract: Although the discovery of the GaI complex salt [Ga(PhF)2-3][Al(ORF)4] (RF=C(CF3)3, PhF=C6H5F) invoked the preparation of a diverse library of cationic Ga(I) coordination complexes and clusters, studies on small molecule activation with low-valent GaI cations are scarce. Herein, a first experimental study on the reactivity of a monomeric Ga(I) cation activated with a pyridine–diimine pincer ligand (in [Ga(PDIdipp)][Al(ORF)4]) towards small-molecules is reported. First controlled oxidative additions of the GaI cation into C−Cl, H−P and P−P bonds are presented. Moreover, the [4+1]cycloaddition to butadienes was achieved. Intriguingly, the isolated, blue insertion product into the P−P bond of P4 allows for the quantitative release of the P4 molecule upon reaction with AlEt3 and butadienes. Reversible P4 insertion of main-group metals has previously been reported for Ge and Sn, respectively. The experimental study is supported by high-level computational analysis of the in-part reversible oxidative additions at the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/def2-TZVPP//PBEh-3c/def2-mSVP level of theory with COSMO-RS solvation in 1,2-difluorobenzene
